Kalshi Key Facts

  • Successful $300 Million Funding Round Elevates Valuation to $5 Billion: Kalshi recently raised over $300 million in a funding round led by top investors including Sequoia Capital and Andreessen Horowitz, boosting its valuation to $5 billion—a 2.5x increase from just three months prior. This strong investor confidence underscores Kalshi’s rapid growth and market potential.
  • International Expansion Opens Markets to Users in Over 140 Countries: The platform has expanded internationally to allow users from more than 140 countries to trade prediction contracts, significantly broadening its addressable market and global reach.
  • Dominant Market Share with Projected $50 Billion Annual Trading Volume: Kalshi commands over 60% of the global prediction market share with an expected annual trading volume of $50 billion in 2025, dramatically up from $300 million the previous year. This dominant market share positions Kalshi as the leader in online event-based trading, ahead of competitors like Polymarket.
  • Expanding Multi-State Litigation Challenges: Kalshi faces significant ongoing litigation across multiple U.S. states and tribal entities challenging the legality of its sports event contracts. These lawsuits allege violations of state and tribal gambling laws, complicating Kalshi’s operations and potentially limiting its market access in key jurisdictions.
  • Growing Competitive Pressure from Crypto-Native Prediction Market Rivals: Competition from crypto-native rivals like Polymarket, which benefits from blockchain infrastructure and substantial backing from financial institutions like the NYSE, poses a threat to Kalshi’s dominant market share despite its regulatory lead. Market dynamics in this emerging sector remain volatile and competitive.
  • Regulatory Uncertainty Around Federal CFTC Authority Versus State Gambling Laws: Regulatory uncertainty remains a major risk, particularly regarding how different courts interpret the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s (CFTC) authority versus state gambling laws. The outcome of appeals and court rulings, including a pending Third Circuit decision, could materially impact Kalshi’s ability to offer certain contracts nationwide.
